    I never get this bus as I was in a different area to normal. In my city it is mainly FIRST who don't give change. This bus company gives change.

    Doesn't explain why you didn't just say "can I have my change please" when you initially paid.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Hi there. It was 85p. But he is a thief. He clocked me and decided he was keeping that money. £15 is appropriate in my mind.

    To be honest, I don't want judgementals. I am already wound up about it.

    So you'll got to court over 85p?

    He offered you your change and you refused to take it, how does that make him a thief?

    I don't think it would reach as far as court but could I?

    No, in a word. I still want a throwing toys out of the pram icon!

    What did you expect after that Rant. You want £15 because you shouted at a bus driver, no doubt calling him a thief. Rather than just asking for your change and even when offered it you declined.


    Unbelievable!

    Hi. I was wanting advice, not a load of rubbish from trash cans.

    I think I would have liked someone to come along and say yes you can take them to court or no you cannot.

    Instead what I got was first class crap.


    You've been given the right advice. As I said to you earler, you can take anyone you want to court. Winning is a different matter.

    Wow that was something else. Poor bus driver! I hope he doesn't actually get in trouble over this. (Although it sounds like the company weren't having any of it!)

    On my local route the driver sometimes just doesn't have enough change when you first get on, so they just give it to you when they do, or as you're getting off. That seems completely reasonable to me, I would have assumed that's the same wherever you go? Works both ways too, when I used to catch the same bus every day there were times when I didn't have quite enough for the fare - they just used to say 'give it to me tomorrow, I'm on the same shift'. Isn't it nice when we all get along?
